The collapse of Afghanistan has sent a bad signal to the other allies of the United States and has also derailed the trust on other America-backed institutions

Image
What shocked the world most was the eventual collapse of the whole Afghan civilian administration after just a week in charge following the United States' withdrawal, the return of the Taliban even made it complicated when the group has slowly revealed its terror-based medieval ideology to rule Afghanistan once it came back to power in Kabul. Afghanistan was led by a civilian, but highly ineffective government, built by the United States. The devastation was beyond just military use - but it is also far worse. It's about the United States' honour suffered a fatal blow. Joe Biden, a protégé of Barack Obama and was expected to deliver a mission to recover the U.S. from the destructive policies of Donald Trump, saw his popularity plummeted. Many allies began to realise something, which is painful, also what Russia and China wanted to tell them for a long time: the U.S. is not trustworthy at all. This is creating a huge emotional and political crisis that has never been experie...

How Taliban's power in Afghanistan can be attributed to Pakistan's sectarian regime?

Image
Afghanistan is on the brink of returning to the reign of terror that the Taliban has imposed after it successfully restored power following a week. The Taliban has restarted its attempts to reintroduce medieval, authoritarian law, in spite of its insistence that it'll be a "different" Taliban. Of course, nobody is foolish enough to buy the Taliban's propaganda, not even it hated neighbour Iran, which has been trying to work and weaken the Taliban at the same time. Yet one country that doesn't get so much "credit" for building this sectarian, terrorist group to fill the power void for so long: Pakistan. In fact, Pakistan plays a major role in making Afghanistan a mess - and also turning the country into a sectarian territory uncontrolled by the authorities, if not to say Pakistan "kill itself" with it. We have never imagined the role of Pakistan in the terror Afghans have been suffering. But it is necessary to understand its background. Pakistan...

Taliban and Tatmadaw - two groups, two nations, one idea, one reign of terror

Image
Tatmadaw is the name of the official Armed Forces of Myanmar or Burma. Taliban is an insurgent group in Afghanistan. Both two of them appear very different from the moments they surfaced, with two groups ruling two nations far apart from each other, having two different religious ideologies, except both are Asians. Yet, their idea of how to govern their nations are characterised by fascinating similarities: terror, thirst for power, and brainwashing, year by year. To understand the Tatmadaw and the Taliban, one can't go without digging the root of the past the created these forces, renowned for being brutal and violent from every corner it can do with. Only by seeing the inner self have we really discovered why Tatmadaw and Taliban are so ruthlessly murderous, for both the innocents of Myanmar and Afghanistan. History We'll talk a bit. Tatmadaw was originally the " Burma Independence Army ", founded by the father of current detained Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, A...

The shocking collapse of Afghan military amidst the advance of Taliban is more than a great danger - there needs a complete re-examination on the U.S. policies

I'll take an example of a far away past. In 1950, when North Korea, armed to teeth by the Soviet Union, invaded the poorly organised South, the South was nearly overrun. The United States and her allies came to intervene, successfully curbed the communist expansion, and saved the South, recovered Seoul, before a ceasefire treaty was signed in 1953, temporarily halted all hostilities. Since 1953, South Korea began its sojourn journey from a completely devastated nation to become one of the greatest economic prospects in the modern world. All were achieved under a similar American-backed system. However, with the exception of South Korea, almost every America-backed government collapsed immediately when the United States began the process of leaving. Why? And what happened? South Korea's success should have been copied. Instead, what we saw was South Vietnam, Iraq and most recently, Afghanistan - where America-backed administrations collapsed horrendously. What makes them lack so...
